Tangerine in Latin Sapphics: The lyrics of the popular jazz standard turned into Latin Sapphics.


"tangerine, she is all they claim/with her eyes of night/and lips as bright as flame."

MY VERSION:

omnibus praestans mea Tingitana
feminis forma, placitisque labris
enitens rubris, oculos et audax
nocticolores.

PROSE TRANSLATION:

My Tangerine, excelling all women in beauty, with flashing red lips, boldy glancing with night-hued eyes.
